There is a small parallel vein of one

problem. The same interviewer empha-
sized his point by stating that several
manufacturing concerns In this city which
had recently been started, were using
steam instead Of water power. To man
unacquainted with the facts and details OF
the subject such questions are quite eN-
cusable, but only need few facts to
dssipate all doubts upon the subject.
To treat this matter intelllgently, will
first state that from actual measurment IN
November, 1884, ascertained that the
total power at that time Of year estiln-
ating that all the power could be
utallzed was over 90 900 horse power. or
course largo percentage OF this (perhaps
20 per cent? is lost by friction, by reason
OF the uneven and rocky bottom OF the
river, and the many small islands, angles
and rocks between the top and bottom OF
the falls. Forty per cent more Of this
power would not be utalized by any sys-
tenn OF canals or fumes, hence about 60
per cent should be deducted.
To arrive at the available number OF
horse power which the Spokane river
could furnish at this point, assuming 90,-
0CO horse power as the gross power OF the
river, and deductng so per cent
therefrom would leave $4,000 horse
power as most conservative and
minimum estimate. Now to correctly
appreciate what this means, let us for q
total horse power (both steam and water)
used in different in land Rtates. / select
inland states rs forming more conserva-
tive basis than states such as Massacbu-
sets, Pennsylvania, New York, ETC., as II

cles for export:

p This represents the power used in each Of
the entire states. The city of Minneapolis
used i'm 1880, as nearly as can ascertain,
about 20, 600 horse power, and MnneapO-
lis Is probably the largest flour milling
point In the world.
The industries requiring the most power
are, In thor order, as follows.
l-Lumber.
2-FlOur.
8-lrOn and steel
4-Paper.
6-Woolen goods.
8-Worsted goods,
With several industries consuming a
comparatively small amount Of power
not necessary to mention. OF the indus
tries above named all but tho iron and
steel industries can be followed at this
point, and IN fact the Touring, paper and
woolen industries belong to this section OF
the country.
1t Is interesting 10 observe, ALSO that
there Is certain relation OF population
to hore power, la nearly all states. The
average population PER horse power, In
the United states, Is as eleven to one. In
other words, each horse power utilized
means an increase OF eleven souls in pop
ulation. Tho averages per state vary
somewhat. so that In Indiana the pupula.

variations for different states are from

The Indianapolis Grand Jury.


The action of the Republican members of the
Indianapolis jury is bold with the boldness of
righteousness. It is as universally known that
certain tally sheets were fraudulently changed
at the last election in that city as that there has
been malappropriation of public money in Chi
cage. No man, Democrat or Republican denies
one or the other of the statements. It is the Office
of law TO make inquiry to the commission of
crime, and in Indiana. as in Illinois, the grand
jury is the FIRST court of inquiry The grand
jury selected to inquire concerning the frauds at
Indianapolis was made I'D Of three Republicans
and three Democrats. The three Republicans
are we'll satisfied that the evidence present

refused to find bill.
The Republicans addressed letter to the
judge declaring their belief. and ask to be ex-
cused from sitting out the remainder of the term
of six months for which they were impaneled.
1t is to be noted that the finding of a bill does
not convict it passes the case public trial be-
fore traverse jury. The Repu blican members
of the grand jury must have been very strong
in their faith of the value of the evidence pre-

is BEER A HEALTHFUL DRINK
Some Light Upon the Question from the In
surer's Point of View.


We are surprised to note that some of the for.
eign insurance journals have been copying the
absurd conclusions OF j. Thomapn, in a
pamphlet recently published in New York, to
show by statistical figures that ''beer is the
haalthiest drink known" That writer declares
the result of his invest gations that the risks
incurred in insurng the lives of habitual beer
drinkers are less by 40 per cent than the ordin-
airy risks of such TRANSACTIONS" Thomann SIM
ply proves what he did not start out to prove
that the robust men employed in the breweries,
who drink from forty to fifty glasses of beer
daily, remain in robust health for some years by
virtue of their large amount of vital force
and tenacity; not by virtue of beer but in spite
of it.
We have closely watched the heavy beer
drinkers in this community with reference to
their mortality ratio for more than twenty years.

hundred who saturate themselves in this inn

satisfy their thirst with their favorate beverage
that IS one thing; but if they are led by Tho

be fooled into the acceptance of walking

Judge Ashman, Of the Orphans Court, has
just decided case involving 900. The
Judges decision was based on the Identification
of woman who swears that she is not the per-
identified. The estate in litigation was that
of the late Houston Smith, broker. who lived
on Sixth street below Buttonwood. He had four
children-Anne, Chancellor Houston and Julia.

died several years previous to his death. All OF
his children had died except his daughter Julia.

to be the only heir to her fathers estate. but
young man claiming to be the son of Houston
Smith, ir. put in his claim and at the hearing
before Judge Hanna, on Thursday. the mother
of the claimant testified that her maiden name
was Annie F. Campbell, and that she was
married to Houston Smith, jr., in
1853 Her son Houston, she testified. was
born July Is. 1860. Mrs. Smith had apparently
proven the identity of her son when Mrs. Hates
took the stand and created a sensation by stat
ing that the woman who called herself Mrs.
Smith had been child's nurse in her fathers
family for years, and that her maiden name was
Annie Quinn, not Annie Campbell. Mrs Hates
also testified that this woman Annie Quinn had
been intimate with her brother Houston and
that an illegitimate child was born to them in
1850. The records of the guardians of the poor
were produced, and they showed that on the
10Th day of July, 1860, child was born to
Houston Smith, ir., and Annie f. Quinn Mrs.
Emma Jones, Miss Jennie Crees and Charles T..
Miller were put on the stand and identified Mrs.
Smith as Annie Quinn of twenty-seven years
ago.
Mrs. Smith was put on the stand and testified
that she had never been in the house of Houston
Smith, ST., and that the attempted Identification
of her by the witnesses was perjury Judge
Ashman decided against Mrs. Smiths son and
awarded the estate to Mrs. Hates Mrs. Smith
still contends that her son is the lawful heir, and
her attorneys have advertised for Annie Quinn,
Offering $1,000 reward. They say they hope to
find her and thus secure to Mrs. Smith and her
SON their legal share in the estate.

Suggestion Looking to the Construction of
an Exit from the Cabinet.
New York Sun (Dem.)
We take no particular interest in the report
that President Cleveland has caused a private
passage to be cut to box in one OF the Wash
ington theaters, fo- the sake of a more convep-
lent entrance. What deserves attention is the
manifest propriety, suggested by this alteration
in the theater. that some such private way
should be opened from the Cabinet room to the
outside world.
There is at present in Mr.. Clevelands Cabinet
an agent and beneficiary of the Pan-electric
Company, the most daring gang of jobbers and
spectators that ever conceived the idea of lay
ing their clutches on a national administration.
Through Mr.. Garland's presence in the Cabinet
they have succeeded in their design, at least so
far as this administration is concerned
1uasmuch as Mr. Cleveland shrinks from an
open and public expulsion of his Pan electric
Encouragement from the front door of the
White House, we Suggest that he should have
some such exit prepared as this new way to his
theater box Then, some fine morning, by
the appointment of new Attorney general, the
Democracy will learn conclusively that through
the quiet departure of Mr.. Garland his place had
happily become as vacant as it was before the
Pan-electrics first effected their entrance into
the Department of Justice. In this way Mr.
Cleveland's feelings mag be saved and no ques-
tons asked. Such is the possible utility of a
rriyate ext
